    Could someone give me some advice on a recent repair that I have done on the sill area near the back tyre. My main concern is that i removed the vertical return as this was rusted out and now I am thinking this looks a bit odd. Has any one else done this repair and how does it look under full paint.IMG_0020.jpg

    I filled both horizontal and vertical lines to the back of the doors, no lines at all looks good I think.
